Hey guys! I posted this recipe on my Instagram but I thought I would post it here too for people who don’t have Instagram or if you find it difficult to follow through stories.
Its such a simple recipe that involves only 4 ingredients!! Sugar, golden syrup, Bicarbonate of soda and chocolate. Its a fun and tasty treat. Looks very impressive too!
If you prefer it without chocolate just skip that step, or if you wanted to use white chocolate that would be amazing!
The honeycomb recipe can be made and used for many different things. Its a great topping for desserts. When making this just be VERY careful not to touch any of the hot sugar. I got a sugar burn before and it wasn’t fun at all!
Have some fun making your homemade Crunchy bars! Let me know how you get on. I would love to see you’re creations. I will include my process pictures below.
